Ruby gave me a feeling I’ve never known before. Which is that, with her at my side, everything is possible. A beautiful, ugly lie. Because the truth is that, for me, nothing is possible. Unlike her, the world is not my oyster. The course of my life is preset. Maybe that was exactly what attracted me to Ruby in the first place. She takes her life in her own hands while I’m just a puppet, pulled this way and that. She can live while I just exist. We don’t fit together. I only wish I’d realized that before I kissed her.
Ok so the show made his 180 behavior bc of the threat from his father, which is better for James's character development
